Iconic DJ, 58, with smash hit UK no 1 reveals anti-ageing secrets as his youthful looks leave fans baffled
ROGER SANCHEZ is in the best shape of his life and, ahead of his next mega- show at Pacha in Ibiza on Sunday night, the superstar DJ told me he trains like an athlete. In an exclusive chat ahead of the concert, Roger says: 'I've been thinking about the hyperbaric chambers that footballers go in and I'm going to start getting more into cold water plunges. But I train. I go to the gym. I do take care of myself. I do biohacking too. 8 DJ Roger Sanchez is in the best shape of his life Credit: Getty 8 His youthful looks belie his true age, with Roger just two years off celebrating his 60th birthday Credit: Splash 'I will have biohacked it to the point where I can jump up and down on stage for years to come. 'I'm trying to avoid wheelchairs at all costs.' His youthful looks belie his true age, with Roger just two years off celebrating his 60th birthday. And he admits fans are baffled by how he still looks so young, laughing: 'People always ask, 'Who's your plastic surgeon?' I'm like, 'God, I've never had any work done.' My wife keeps me on my toes. She is my inspiration.' READ MORE ON CELEBS Roger's other half, Kristen Knight, is a fellow DJ, and the pair split their time between the US and Ibiza — where Roger is a Pacha club stalwart. He says: 'We try to push each other forward with our music. 'Working together comes naturally, and we DJ together a lot. 'Turntable hog' 'We're both very technical DJs, so it works. Most read in Bizarre 'But I've been around for quite some time, which allows me to open some doors, but equally I am happy to step back when it's time for her to take the position. When she's playing, I try to make sure that I'm supportive and she makes sure she's supportive of me. 'I tend to be a 'turntable hog', as she likes to call it. I try to step back and not be as greedy with the decks as I can be.' Roger Sanchez: The Lifelong DJ Keeping the Party Alive After Sunday night's show, Roger will play two more huge sets at the superclub before taking a final bow at Pacha's All Night Long closing weekend on October 12. And the veteran star has no plans to stop spinning the decks any time soon. 'I never gave thought to the expiration date,' Roger says. 'I enjoy the mental gymnastics of trying to think five tracks ahead and reading the dance floor. 'I've never really viewed this as a job. I viewed this as a passion, and I'm fortunate enough that they pay me to do so. 'That being said, I've never said, 'I'll keep doing this until I'm 100.' ' I wouldn't be surprised if he tried. Fly bye, Charli THEY tied the knot over the weekend, but Just 24 hours after formally saying their vows at Hackney Town Hall in East London, it was back to work for the Brat summer star. 8 Charli XCX and George Daniel are saving their honeymoon for after their second wedding later this year Credit: Click News and Media 8 The 1975 drummer waving Charli off as she returns to work Credit: Click News and Media My exclusive snaps show the singer being waved off by The 1975 drummer George at Luton Airport's jet terminal as she headed off on a job. Charli looked remarkably fresh-faced after partying with her closest friends and family until the early hours of Sunday following their wedding. But I bet she couldn't wait to grab an extra snooze on her fancy flight. The couple, who got engaged in 2023, will tie the knot again in Sicily later this year. My insiders told me Charli and George have organised a massive blow-out wedding for all of their loved ones. It's the cherry on the cake after an amazing year for the both of them. Miley Spotify gig made into movie MILEY CYRUS'S Billion Club Live concert with Spotify has been made into a film which is available to watch now. During the show, which was recorded in Paris in front of her biggest fans, Miley performs some of her biggest tracks, including Flowers, We Can't Stop and Wrecking Ball, which have all surpassed one billion streams on the download service. Her film is the second to come from Spotify's Billions Club concert series, with the first featuring The Weeknd back in December. Glitz all fab fun ★★★☆☆ IF you're looking for a carbon copy of 2010 film Burlesque, I'm sad to say this West End adaptation might not be for you. But if you head to the Savoy Theatre with an open mind, I can promise you'll come away with a smile on your face, thanks to the camp-as-Christmas production. 8 Christina Aguilera starred in 2010 film Burlesque Credit: PA 8 Jess Folley steals the show as Aguilera's Ali in the West End show Credit: Getty Jess Folley steals the show as Christina was in the audience for the gala night and told those around her how proud she was of the actress after Jess took her final bow. The costumes and choreography are bold and brash, and the whole show is immediately impressive. At times, it feels like the production has turned from an adaptation of the hit film made popular by Cher and Christina, to a proper labour of love for Todrick, who not only stars but is also the director, choreographer and composer. Prior to the gala night, Todrick axed an hour of the show, which was definitely wise as the running time still stands at a beefy two and a half hours. Burlesque will no doubt divide fans and critics. But if you are willing to take in the beauty and sass of the cast – along with the cheesy jokes – it's guaranteed to lift your spirits. JACK HARDWICK Bieber Justin front in battle for No1 JUSTIN BIEBER is racing towards the No1 spot in the Official Singles Chart tomorrow. But it's going to be a photo finish, with his track Daisies now just 100 units ahead of Dior, by MK ft Chrystal. 8 Justin Bieber is racing towards the No1 spot in the Charts Credit: GC Images If Justin, left, makes it to the top, Daisies will be his first No1 since he achieved the feat with Ed Sheeran on their song I Don't Care six years ago. Justin's new album Swag was released last week and has already broken all kinds of records. It is his most streamed project globally and went straight to the top of the charts on both Spotify and Apple Music's album charts in more than 100 countries. Swag is also his most personal album to date and we reckon it's well worth a listen if you've not already downloaded it. Price is right for Madge MADONNA is pushing ahead with her next album, and she wants her fans to know it. The Queen of Pop has been busy in a London studio where she has been working with Stuart Price. The album, Confessions Part 2, is the follow-up to her 2005 record Confessions On A Dance Floor. Madge had huge success with Stuart before, with the pair coming up with hits including Get Together, Jump and Hung Up. And insiders say they have been cooking up even more magic. 'Madonna sounds incredible,' my music mole said. 'She and Stuart are on fire and the songs sound so fresh and fun.' Hurry up and get it finished please, Madge – we're desperate to hear it. Biz Blinds GETTING a gift from your other half can be super-romantic. But when household name Bland Blanked started to woo one of his many glamorous lovers, the object of his affections got more than she bargained for when he popped 'his and hers' bags of cocaine on the table during a date. As it wasn't the kind of bag she might have hoped for, she duly dumped the handsome telly star. The only way is up the nose in Essex, clearly. Abi hides message THE Last Dinner Party's Abigail Morris says a song on new album From The Pyre was inspired by a 'situationship' she was in with another major artist. Speaking in the latest issue of Rolling Stone UK, the star said: 'I've spoken with so many artists who are in relationships with other artists and they use their albums and artwork to offer a secret code to them. 8 The Last Dinner Party's Abigail Morris opened up about relationships in the latest issue of Rolling Stone UK 'I've done it too. In that song I interpolated a melody from the song of someone I was seeing at the time. 'It's not like I want them to know or the world to know – it's just I know and that's really entertaining to me.' We'll start guessing when it's released on October 17.
